I use to think that but the c7 is so much better in every facet imaginable. When you get inside a c6 they feel so dated. Fuck my GTO kills a c6 interior and comfort wise.
Jacob Herron yea of course. I drove one before and you absolutely right about the interior. Then again i’m not worry about interior I like performance lol. C7s are very beautiful cars.
“Make sure you use a 2 post lift. We wouldn’t even attempt this on jack stands” Cleetus Cooper and James: Hold my beer and watch us do this countless times at the track on jack stands
lol I've seen my buddy remove hsi entire drivetrain and motor on his f1x c6z twice in a day, and put it back in twice as well all in the same single day. He's powered by about 40k of weed a year though
I have about $45k total invested in my 2008 Z06 (I know it's not worth that much. Engine upgrades costed around $10k - money I'll never see again, but it sure makes the car fun!). Anyway, it's just a naturally aspirated Heads/cam/exhaust LS7. No supercharger, turbos, or nitrous. Since it weighs just 3100 pounds, and now produces 660 hp, it will outperform any stock C7 Z06, Hellcat Redeye, and even the 2020 C8. The LS7 (with aftermarket heads) is a beast of a motor. It's the most fun I have ever had driving on the street.
"...pain in the ass..." Just a gentle reminder that Colossians 3:8 instructs us not to use vulgar language. Ignore God's rules for living at your own peril.
They're actually very easy to work on. Don't let pulling the drivetrain out of the car intimidate you. It's very easy. One of if not the easiest car i have ever worked on.
"We would never attempt this on a set of jack stands." I have done a clutch swap on a C5 Z06 and a C6 GS and both was on jack stands. I also was by myself the whole time. Its not easy and a lift is definitely a huge help but you can do it on jack stands just fine.
@deadend Nothing dangerous about putting a car up on jack stands, it's literally a safety device to use when you jack a car up so it doesn't collapse on you in the first place.
@deadend Not sure you've ever worked under a car on jack stands before, there is literally nothing dangerous about it. Less room, sure. But at the same time... you have a jack on the trans when you drop it in either situation anyhow.
@deadend Except we're talking about a jack **stand** not a jack. You need a jack for both the lift or the jack stands anyhow, for removal of any parts you're dropping from underneath. You're not under the car very much to drop a transmission, as you're lowering it down onto a jack to pull it out. A jack stand is the exact same material as a hydraulic lift, they're both steel. One just has a hydraulic cylinder to move it up and down. Sure the jack stands don't lift it up as high, but you don't need to stand under a car to work on it, your grandfather did it long before those lifts became wide spread. Guess what they used then?
Now I’ll tell you what. There isn’t a damn thing you can’t do on jack stands and a few busted knuckles. Changed a transmission in 3 foot of snow on jack stands
I would just do a cam/heads swap on that LS7. It'll produce about 625 hp and no blower and all the issues it brings with it. It's 1/3rd the cost of that blower kit. And if you're going to rip out the drive train to replace the clutch/flywheel, replace the $5.00 rear main seal.
@ Yep. If you're going to remove the drivetrain, replace the stupid simple things that wear normally. Especially on a car that has been beaten to death. I wouldn't want this car.
Makes you understand how stupid that video is of the guy that thought he was doing a killer burnout but was smoking out his clutch. Watch it if you like to cringe ;
I did this on a 09 zo6 on the floor with jack stands by myself.😂 probably one of the harder jobs I’ve done on jack stands .but it can be done also rebuilt the torque tube and added a twin disk . These cars are a lot of fun 👍🏻
What about the valve dropping issue with that 7.0? Should of really done something before it does something. Also you didn’t replace the pilot bearing, big no no.
There was a video they did on a mustang where they drilled and tapped into the oil pan while it was still on the car. They show you so many things to not do to cars. I also would never drive one of their cars. It would be sold if I ever won one.
Cali Angler he spent $48,000 to beat a $70,000 hellcat stock my factory. Pretty good numbers if you ask me. Out another $15k in and you’d walk just about anything stock.
Jarrod G he could have easily gone the n/a route with doing his heads, bigger cam, some bolt ons and e85 and it would easily take out hellkitties all day
Scratch the Super Charger if you do it right you can get 600 to 650 at the wheels N/A Heads / Cam / Intake / Exhaust / Throttle Body / Cold Air Intake /Injectiors / Fuel System etc. Probably need a stronger clutch too
I'm not sure why you would buy a c6 z06 and supercharge it (unless you're building the motor). You can make over 600whp (650+ crank) with heads/cam/intake/headers. Let that 7L breathe!
Very good show. Really helps to have a buddy and a lift. I have the same car, similar mods but use one of those quickjacks only 3ft lift and often no help. Takes me 18 months to do this job in rare spare time.
I would've replaced the pilot bearing also. The needle bearings go bad and can cause drive line vibrations. Being a GM technician and doing it under GM warranty,you were careful with checking all components didn't want to do the job for free.
Nice video. Since you had the torque tube out, I would have checked the couplers. They are known to fail and cause increased vibration. Cheap to through a couple new couplers in.
You can add a supercharger to a C6 and get equal power, but it will never keep up with the C7 as far as handling. Between the much stiffer frame to the electronic rear differential and electronic steering rack the C7 simply handles noticeably better. I've had both the C6 and currently have the C7, both Z06's, and the C7 is much more stable and planted, and gives you much more confidence in the twisties.
If ya done an RaceProveMotorsports, "RPM," Cam package, w/ full intake & exhaust, they have made 650WHP, saved weight, prly cost less, and been a better car all around. Then put a blower on, lulz.
Haha ya I thought they were going to upgrade the heads and cam as that would definitely make it more competitive against the c7. Advanced induction 280 cc cnc work on the stock heads, 1 7/8" headers, RPM B-3 cam (some are saying the actual spec is 243/259 .623 .623 116), ported Msd intake manifold, Halltec or Vararam intake, plus a good tune would have got them to 640-660 horsepower at the wheels (540-560 ft lbs of rear wheel trq)
after having removed my c6 drivetrain twice using jackstands.. I'd definitely second the sentiment of using a lift if possible. I see now why so many C6 are heavily modded. It's so labor intensive to do some jobs it's almost better to just take the whole car apart one time and put all the mods on as you reassemble the car. I sure hope this car's torque tube couplers and bearings were at least inspected before being put back in. (yes, I realize this video old.) The C6 is a love/hate car for sure. Love driving on it, beginning to hate working on it.
super well made content! oddly i get wheeler dealer vibes (the brithish show where they buy a used car and restore and sell it)! i mean that in the most positive way. i know its not the same but the camera work and narration is similar ! new sub here
Lol I pulled the subframe off the corvette about 5 times. On jack stands. Got good at it. Was able to do it in an hour. Not a bad job. Only thing that is annoying is the center heat shield.
Back in the day I used to be a Corvette specialist.. I worked 5 years at a dealership. And did a lot of heavy work on the high-end cars... You'd have to pay me an exorbitant amount of money nowadays to touch the last two generations of Corvettes..
You don’t need boost in a c6 z. Heads , cam , ported msd intake, cold air , ported tb and you have 580-620whp na add e85 and you have 650 whp n/a. At the lowest and smallest cam 550-580 whp that will bot race a c7 z which makes 550-570 whp 580-600 wtq stock in both et and trap speed. You add boost and it’s not even fair for the c7 z it’s to heavy at 3570 the c6 z can weight 3109-3200 or less with light weight wheels and headers . Second those brakes are two heavy you want 2 piece rotors with aluminum hats those are one piece and heavy.
I read somewhere that GM had built a 454LS engine based off the LS7427(really426). However they couldn't get it to pass emissions. So they moved on to adding blowers. But somewhere that engine exists. It would be cool to see a Hotrod story about it!
Theres a lot of engines that GM (among others) have made that are along those lines. No doubt they made a LS 454, they were also developing a factory V12 and V16 at one point like 10-12 years ago. If you want to know where they are now, id say take a look at that soda can you may be drinking from and theres a good chance a bit of it is in there.
This was the build that made me rethink my desire of owning a Corvette, particularly when seeing all the work that Mike and Pat had to do in order to do the transmission swap
I won’t even go past the first 5 seconds of this video, and whole heartedly say “yes you can!”. The new Vette is made for dudes who wear pink polo shirts with the collar up and penny loafers without socks. Engine front, tranny middle, drive wheels rear…that’s the formula for dudes with swingin’ Johnson’s.
This is what makes UA-cam great. You can learn how to do jobs like this from professionals. Back in the day you had to get your local mech drunk or stoned and interrogate him the whole time he is getting high and hope he knows wtf he is saying. UA-cam made life easier.
Now I know what the indents in my forehead are for never noticed them until hair loss so like the tires my performance isn't fully optimized my indents are showing. I'm glad my wife hasn't seen this video
@ You can use the $12,000 you save on the Vette for more horsepower and easily outrun the GT500 in a drag race. You can't make the GT keep up to the Vette around a corner no matter how much money you throw at it...
I agree with the real main seal comment - replace it while in there. Why not rebuild the torque tube also while it’s out of the car given the power upgrade and past track use …
16:50 I love the car and the mods are great. However if as you say you want to "Give back to our customers" giving a single car away to one person isn't the way to do it. (Congrats to the winner). How about giving a special discount on the brakes to all customers as well. That would actually "Give back to the customers".

Lol i did that job once on jackstands. Not fun
Pain in the ass
It builds character
jonathan ford indeed It did. Lol
What was the process to do it on a jack stand?
Juan C really the same. Take driveline out
That's super wet!!! I would so love to have that!! That car must break necks lol
I will bet $20 new stock shocks ride better that the aftermarket one.
I still wonder why didn't you just hit 20M subscribers yet...
I've never owned a Chevy I'd love to own a Corvette I'm a Ford guy got a few mustangs expedition what I'm missing is a Corvette
🤤🤤 mouth watering Chevrolet performance
awesome work guys
It's funny, the 2015 ZO6 was $80k, the new 2020 Mid-engine Vette is $60k (that's what they say anyway) and will beat it.
65k, and wait til the 2020 Z06 comes out.
60k msrp.... they're not going to be available for that
@ Anybody that buys a new Vette for drag racing is just silly.
Put it on a road coarse and let her rip.
@ You can use the $12,000 you save on the Vette for more horsepower and easily outrun the GT500 in a drag race. You can't make the GT keep up to the Vette around a corner no matter how much money you throw at it...
bdd1469 yeah idk about that.. We'll see
Like Jay Leno, he said carbon fiber brakes...lol
Hope they repair the stock heads before they drop a valve.
Exactly. I was like rip that ls7.
I'm sure it was addressed by powerstop before their testing and data logging.
@@z06camaro Would be nice for them to tell people who dont know. Isn't this for educational purposes?
@@REDZ28won I agree, hell I even forgot about the dropping valves as I was watching the video.
First thing I did when I bought my 2008 Z06 is upgrade the heads to Texas Speed 64cc heads. (11.5:1 compression, solid stainless valves)
I agree with the real main seal comment - replace it while in there. Why not rebuild the torque tube also while it’s out of the car given the power upgrade and past track use …
16:50 I love the car and the mods are great. However if as you say you want to "Give back to our customers" giving a single car away to one person isn't the way to do it. (Congrats to the winner). How about giving a special discount on the brakes to all customers as well. That would actually "Give back to the customers".
They gave to you in spirit. He enjoys it for all the customers.😂🤣😅
Great upload!!
I’d still take one of these any day over the mid-engine models
